			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Drivel is the next offline blog poster I&#8217;m trying out.</p>
<p>This one has more features (compared to gnome-blog-poster) including:</p>
<ol>
<li>The ability to view recent posts.</li>
<li>Image linking (alas, no uploading).</li>
<li>A formatting menu for simple HTML formatting.</li>
<li>The ability to save drafts.</li>
<li>The ability to set the category of the post.</li>
</ol>
<p>Some Limitations:</p>
<ul>
<li>The lists it creates are all unordered lists. You can manually change them into ordered lists, but there&#8217;s no menu item for creating ordered lists.</li>
<li>It doesn&#8217;t appear to be able to create new categories and when loading old entries it doesn&#8217;t set the Category: drop-down menu to the category (or categories) the post is assigned to.</li>
<li>The HTML formatting is inserted as raw tags (no WYSIWYG).</li>
<li>No ability to assign tags to an entry that I can see.</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s simple and limited, but seems to work well enough.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a screenshot:</p>
<div id="attachment_208" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 616px"><img class="size-full wp-image-208" title="drivel" src="http://daniel-bartholomew.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/drivel.png" alt="Drivel Screenshot" width="606" height="428" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Drivel Screenshot</p></div>
<p>From the screenshot you may have noticed that it messed up the list. I think this was my fault. Also, the drafts are saved locally. An option to save them to the blog as drafts so I can edit the post online from a different location later would be nice.</p>
<p>One final note: editing previous blog posts appears to work.</p>
